Listproc Commands Available for SHAMASH Mailing List Users

This table will provide sample commands for you to use with Shamash's
lists. The samples below use a few examples.
Send all of your commands to listproc (at) shamash(dot)org
To send messages to the list, you send it to the list's address.
* For the name of a mailing list the example jewish-mailing is
used.
* Those samples needing the name of a person use Rebecca
Rosenblatt.
* When you see Password, use the password that was given to you
when you joined a list.
* Where it is necessary to change a current setting to a new one,
the words Current and New are used.
All of these examples are ficticious, so you must substitute the mailing
list you are interested in, and your name in place of jewish-mailing and
Rebecca Rosenblatt. Also substitute the appropriate information for
Password, Current and New whenever necessary.
Please note that many of these commands require you to be a member of
the list before you can use the command. This may vary from list to list
also.
Several Listproc commands have alternate names, which you may have been
using. These alternate names are listed as "aliases" below, and are
merely synonyms.

each one.
2. The Query command returns a list of personal settings just like the
Set command does, but cannot be used with specific options.
3. You must send this command from the address under which you are
currently subscribed. Once completed, the original address will no
longer be valid; the address given in "new-address" will be used
instead.
4. If you receive mail digests from the specified list, the use of this
command will cause listproc to send the list's mail to you as individual
messages rather than as digests.
5. First provide your current password, then your new password
(remember-passwords are case-sensitive and must be typed exactly).
6. If the archives are password protected you have to add /password to
the commands below
7. In order to convey the search terms you desire, you can use a single
word or phrase, or a regular expression in which ^ (carat) negates
whatever follows, | (vertical bar) and & (ampersand), respectively,
provide logical OR and AND, < and > (lesser and greater) are used to
group parts of regular expressions, and. (period) matches any character
(ie a wildcard) except the new-line character.
